With Champagne as the base for this riff on the classic cobbler riff, all that’s needed is little citrus. Dan Greenbaum says: “It’s a little more delicate, you don’t want to overpower with other flavors.” Don’t be surprised if some of the carbonation seems to deflate, he adds, yielding “a drink you drink pretty quickly.”
